Met Office issues nine-day soggy warning as UK battles rainy summer

Based on the most recent UK weather forecast, people should be prepared for a soggy week because nine days of rain are expected.

Forecasters have issued a warning to those who are currently spending their summer vacations at home, saying they may experience a washout.

The heatwave that has triggered wildfires and droughts around the world is still going strong, so while the UK faces heavy rain showers, Europe will continue to experience blistering temperatures.

Beginning on Sunday, July 30, Britain can anticipate showers and a chilly wind for nine straight days.

Greece and Italy‘s temperatures will continue to climb in the meanwhile.

The arrival of this weather coincides with the recent summer break for millions of kids from school.

The inclement weather may prevent thousands of families from taking planned excursions to the beaches and national parks in the UK.

The end of August is expected to bring ‘sometimes warmer’ weather, according to the Met Office.

A protracted dry and hot spell, it was noted, seemed improbable.

The driest weather is expected to be in sections of the West and South, while the North and North East will likely have cloudier skies and more frequent showers.

It will frequently be windy, more so than normal, and there may even be significant gusts. Most temperatures will be below average.

In the meantime, flames have been raging around Greece for more than two weeks, including outside the capital Athens and in Rhodes.

Fires have claimed the lives of five persons, including two firefighting pilots. The mercury has surpassed 40C.
